Business Gifts that Make Sense (and Raise Dollars)

Gregory Baker

Friday, October 18, 10:00 – 11:00 a.m.

Advanced

Small businesses represent nearly 1/3 of the value of affluent decedents’ estates. Every gift planning shop needs to understand how to apply and discuss CRTs and outright gifts with small business owners. This advanced session will use a case study approach to describe how business owners think about their charitable giving, while also addressing how our due diligence action steps need to differ based on how the donor's business is structured.

Learning Objectives

Learn how to integrate blended gift planning options for small business owners who are ready to sell their business.
